Tokyo-Ga

Description

By Wim Wenders. Digitally restored copyIn this documentary with the look of a filmed journal, Wim Wenders stages himself in the streets of Tokyo, as he traces the cinematic work of the great Japanese classical filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu. "From Yasujirō Ozu to Chris Marker, in a city that hesitates between tradition and modernity, the film accounts for an aesthetic journey. From Ozu's 'tatami height' tripods to the evocation of Sans Soleil, we witness the formal mutation of the filmmaker. And when Wenders manages to capture Marker’s eye for a few frames, we think back to the band that bars Nicholas Ray’s film, shot a few years earlier. In this game of references that underpin his cinematic gesture, Wenders opens a door to the future of his art" (Pascal Catheland, Tënk).
